Answer:
a) Sales volume variance = $1496000 unfavorable
flexible-budget variance = $192000 favorable
b) For direct materials
Price variance = `$135000 unfavorable
efficiency variances = $527920 favorable
For direct manufacturing labor
Price variance = `$36600 unfavorable
efficiency variances = $914815 favorable
Explanation:
a) Sales volume variance = (Actual units sold - Budgeted units sold) x Budgeted price per unit = (4800 - 7000) × $680 = $1496000 unfavorable
flexible-budget variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) x Actual units sold= ($720 - $680) × 4800 = $192000 favorable
b) For direct materials
Price variance = (Actual cost - standard cost) x Actual quantity of units purchased = ($5.95/ pound - $8/pound) × 66000 pound= `$135000 unfavorable
efficiency variances = (Actual unit - Standard unit) x Standard cost per unit = (66000 pound - 10 pound) × $8 per pound= $527920 favorable
For direct manufacturing labor
Price variance = (Actual cost - standard cost) x Actual hours = ($48/hour - $50/hour) × 18300 hours = `$36600 unfavorable
efficiency variances = (Actual hours - Standard hours) x Standard cost per hour= (18300 hour - 3.7 hour) × $50/hour = $914815 favorable
Answer:
Optimal qauntity is 4 Units
Explanation:
Here, we have to decide quantity of production at which maximum profit can be generated. For this reason we will have to contruct a table which will help us to calculate Marginal Benefit and Marginal cost. This table is given as under:
Quantity Total benefit Marginal benefit Total Cost Marginal Cost
0 Units 0 0 0 0
1 Units 16 16 9 9
2 Units 32 16 20 11
3 Units 48 16 33 13
4 Units 64 16 48 15
5 Units 80 16 65 17
We can see that at 4 Units, marginal revenue is almost equal to marginal cost. At this level of production, we have maximum benefits generated which is:
Maximum Benefit Generated = ($16 - $9) + ($16 - $11) + ($16 - $13) + ($16 - $15) = $7 + $5 + $3 + $1 = $16 for 4 Units
We can also cross check by considering 5 units case to assess whether the benefit generated is more than 4 units case or not.
Maximum Benefit Generated (For 5 Units) = ($16 - $9) + ($16 - $11) + ($16 - $13) + ($16 - $15) + ($16 - $17) = $7 + $5 + $3 + $1 - $1 = $15 for 4 Units
As the maximum benefit generated in the case of 4 units is more because of using marginal revenue = Marginal Cost relation, hence the optimal quantity is 4 units.
When weighing your employment options, these are very important to consider:
- Employee Benefits
- Pay period
- Taxes taxable income.
Thus, all of these are very important to consider before accepting the job offer.
Answer:
Explanation:
a)
Year percentage increase
2011 21.21162
2012 14.35054
2013 20.62696
b) Assuming C1 is the domestic currency, an increase in E will cause price of C2 in term of C1 to; Decline
c) If the value of e decrease, given that E is increasing, then Country Y would be experiencing a lower rate of inflation compared to Country X
d) if foreign goods are relatively less expensive compared to the domestic goods and assuming that the nominal exchange rate of the currencies is equity, then there is disparity in the real exchange rate.
Answer: The answer is D. The price of gasoline rises due to rising oil prices
Explanation: microeconomist study is based on the interaction of individuals or firms in an economy, rather than aggregate economic factors that affect a nation as a whole. Examples are inflation rate, unemployment rates, Per capital income, GDP etc
